Free IE spell checker
Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2002 12:11 am
Ever been to a site that does not have a spell checker? I sometimes will copy and paste from Word and back to the message box when in doubt. What can I say...I'm a horrible speller. Here is a FREE utility called "ieSpell" that attached to the tool bar of IE and allows to to check the spelling of anything in the message box. In fact, I justed used it in this post to check my spelling by right-clicking in the message box and selected "check spelling".
HERE IS THE LINK
INFO:
ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your web application already includes spell checking functionality, you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.
The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (as well as a new menu item under "Tools") - after filling in a form, just hit the ieSpell button and it pops up a dialog, similar to the MS Word spell check.
ieSpell is not spyware or adware. Its free for personal and not-for-profit use. Commercial use requires a separate license.
Requirements:
Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
7 MB of free disk space (More if you install the optional language packs)

Though that is pretty cool.
